Hon G. B. Buchanan of Sank Rapids
was in Little Falls for a few hours on
Monday and went down to tho river to
view the dam, canal, and other i'm
provements. He pronounced the inn
provements being made as of the most
substantial character, and said the
wonderfully favorable site was being
improved in manner in keeping with
it. Mr.. Buchanan is an enthusiast with
regard to the early growth of manufac-
turing at the water powers along the up
per Mississippi, and is pleased that
Little Falls is to be one of the most fa-
vored of places that will reap benefits.
The Vincent Company which appear
at the Opera House on Monday and
Tuesday evenings next, is one of the
best theatrical troupes on the road, and
the people of Little Falls will have an
unusually good opportunity to enjoy
themselves. AL the entertainments
they give are interesting, and several of
our citizens who attended their per-
formances in St. Cloud last week speak
highly of them. Where they are well
known they are always well patronized.
Go and see them.
Deputy U. S. Marshall E.. S. Warren
was in Little Falls yesterday after par
ties who were wanted in St. Paul to. at
tend the United States court. He is
engaged most Of the time in summon
ing witnesses and others to attend
court, and nearly all the cases are for
selling whisky to Indians. He says
that in spite Of the active efforts being
made by the government authorities to
punish those who sell whisky to In
dians, the unlawful business is being
carried to a greater extent every year.
At nearly every town in Northern Min
nesota that is visited by Indians, they
have little If any trouble to obtain all
the whiskey they can pay for. Brainerd
is the worst town in that respect, and if
Indian witnesses on the way to or from
st. Paul are allowed to remain in the
former place short time they usually
get drunk. ~"

the following evening After passing !
very comforts ble night In the 'Teepse''ss
or wigwam, Of this hospitable old chief
we took canoes and proceeded down
the Rum river to the council grounds
Z distance Of some twelve miles. We
passed through three lakes, through
which the river runs, or Whist might
more properly be called widening out
Of she river after leaving Mile Laos
proper, Of which it is tho outlet. The
first Of these, Lake oeechie, is long
narrow body of water which in favorable
seasons is filed with wild rice and from
which the Indians procure much that
goes to their support in the winter
seasons. This year the crop is an entire
failure. but Of this / will speak
further on. Here we met with mis-
fortune, one Of our Indian canoemen
breaking his paddle and we had to put
into port to repair the loss, this We did
by procuring another from the Indian
Mi-in-gons, or Little Wolf, who lives at
this point. Proceeding we next came to
Lake Nessawaie, which is also I rice
lake. This as the as other had no rice.
Further on We entered upon the placid
waters of Lake Onamia, which is the
largest and most beautiful of this chain
Of lakes. A large, clear and beautiful
sheet Of water varying in depth from
five to sixty feet and about Eve miles
long by three in width. Padding slowly
across this We entered the extensive
rice beds at the out lot and for four
miles through these we made our way
to a point about mile above the old
trading post at the Rum River dam,
where the council and grand Medicine
da nee was to be had. Arrived there
we were welcomed by deputation of
chiefs and braves and in honor Of his
arrival the American flag WAS hoisted
and Mr.. Simmons was escorted to seat
of honor prepared for him, in the sacred
ring, or enclosure where the council
was to be had, and from, which all are
excluded except those who are especial
ly invited to enter or who are high in
authority with them. The writer was
honored by an invitation to take seat
with them and did SO. The American
flag hoated in all its graceful majesty
over our heads and altogether the scene
was pleasant one. We found about
$50 Indians gathered there and after q
grand hand shake and smoke of the
pipe OF peace, the ceremonies began.

THE AWFUL RITE OF JOHUR.
Beautiful Indian women Sacrificed
TO Save Their Honor.

Johur is an awful rite. A whole tribe
may become extinct by it, as is seen by
several instances recorded in the history
of the Rajpoot States. What it signifies
is the burning of women to save their
honor. The Rajpoot are profoundly jeal-
GUS OF the honor Of their women; and to
prevent their falling into the hands OF
conquerers, then to be dealt with as was
often the case in the wars with the Mo-
hammedans, he has recourse to the
Johur; that is to say, the immoation OF
every female OF the family. And the
Rajpoot woman gladly embraces such a
refuge from pollution; or even if she
were not in fear OF being forced away as
a captive, she would prefer it to living on
as a widow. The loss OF battle or the
capture OF Il city during the Modamme
dan invasion was usually the time when
this dreadful rite was practiced. At the
end OF the famed siege OF Cheetore, the
ancient capital OF the Rama of Odeypore,
by Ala-uddin, in 1908, the Rajpoot Chief
after an arduous day, passed the night in
pondering the means by which he might
save from general destruction one at
least of his twelve sons. Eleven OF them
fell during the next few days and when
but one son remained to the Rama, he
proclaimed the Johur The funeral pyle
was lighted within subterranean cham
bers, where the suns rays had never en-
tered, and the defenders OF Cheetore be-
held the queens and their own wives and
daughters TO the number OF several thou
sands, pass in procession to the fire.
The beautiful Pudmani, the consort of
the Rena, who was believed to be the
chief object of attraction for the conquer
ing Tartar, came last in the throng. The
door OF the caverns closed, the fires ragged
within, and the honor of the Rajpoot
women saved. When afterward Ala
uddin entered the capital on the death OF
the Rama and his surviving son, who fell
in the conflict, he found it strewn with
the bodies of its defenders, while smoke
yet issued from the recesses where the
women had perished.

Bill STEWART, who will be elected
United States Senator by the Nevada
Legislature next Tuesday, was, in the
early California days, engineer OF an OK
team in Nevada county. The experience
OF his bull-tickling days was useful to
him in his recent preliminary contest at
Carson. He welded the party lash as
skillfully as he had formerly manipulated
the blacksnake, and gee'd and hawed the
Republican members into the caucus
chamber as expertly as he used to direct
the movements OF Buck and Bright across
the narrow fords OF Deer Creek and
through the chaparral mazes OF the Cali
forna foothills.

ANOTHER STEAL PROPOSED.

The Republicans Of California, not con-
tent with stealing the United States SEN
atorship for a portion OF the unexpired
term OF the late Senator Miller, are now
trying to gobble the seat for the next six
years by even Il more infamous method.
They now claim that the newly-elected
State Senators are not entitled to their
seats, but that the old members hold
over during this session. They claim
to have discovered some constitutional
technicality which will enable them again
to defeat the will OF the people. What
the techncality is, is not made plain to
the public, nor is it probably plain to the
conspirators themselves. With the old
Senate the Legislature would be Repub-
lican by two votes on joint ballot. This
is job as Infamous, in a small way, as
the seating OF Hayes as President in OPP
position to the voice OF the people. The
new Senators of both parties were NOM
mated and elected with the understand
ing that they were to take their seats at
this session, and the question was never
raised until after it was discovered that
the Democrats had majority in the
Legislature. The Democrats of California
should see that this piece of infamy is not
accomplished.

INTERSTATE COMMERCE,

Senator Cullom's Interstate Com
merce bill is attracting more public at
tention than any measure now pending
in Congress. The gist OF the Act is en-
bodied in the following clause: cit shall
be unlawful to charge or receive greater
compensation in the aggregate for the
transportation Of passengers or OF like
kinds OF property under substantially
similar circumstances and conditions for
shorter than for longer distance over
the same line in the same direction (the
shorter being included in the longer dis
tance)." The author of the bill, in eX-
planning the above, which is known as
the "short-haul" provision, says it means
that railroad shall not make greater
total or aggregate charge for hauling car
ten miles than twenty, or hundred or
five hundred. For instance, ii goods or
grain should be shipped from Chicago to
New York on given line OF road, that
road shall not charge more for any
intermediate point than from Chicago. In
from Fort Wayne, for instance, which is
$50 miles nearer New York than Chicago,
than from the latter place. There is a
provision, however, which provides that
the commission may, in special cases
on application by the railroad, after inves.
tigaton, give the railroad relief from the
operation of the short-haul provision ii il
sees proper to do so. While the general
features OF the bill are good, the weak
point in our opinion is that it confers
upon the commissioners greater power
than is safe to trust in the hands of any
small number OF men. The special ap
plication clause, we infer, means that thC
commission is empowered to establish
special rates, not only in individual cases
but as a general rule, governing the
charges from stated points This natur
ally places the entire matter OF rates il
the hands OF the commission. The drif
of public opinion is evidently directed
towards the adjustment of such discrim
ination as has been and is now bein,
exercised by connecting roads, and es
specially for the great trunk lines of tn
country, and just and equitable bill
limiting the charges within reasonabl,
bounds is imperatively demanded. Prom
inent railroad men admit this, and con
cede the justice OF such legislation as will
prevent such unjust discrimination a
has heretofore been the rule, hence TIN
bitter opposition which met the Reagan
bill in all OF its stages by the railroa,
lobby has not manifested itself at Wash
ington since the introduction of Senate
Cullom's measure. 1t will probably pas
both Houses in perhaps modified form
and its beneficial effect will undoubtedl
manifest itself in all sections of tn
pnnntry

The Carson AppeaL says: "About ten
Democrats desire every office, 50 that
nine are disappointed and made unhappy
when the one is made happy" Then
the appeal should rejoice to see the 0O,-
600 Democrats disappointed and made
unhappy, and that may insure the defeat
OF the Democratic party in 1883. Let all
OF the Republican journals join in the
cry: Turn the rascals out" The
DEMOCRAT welcomes the issue. The
trouble is that too many Democrats are
made unhappy and disgusted by seeing
so many Republicans retained in office
under Democratic Administration.
